Brief Bio:
I started running over 12 years ago. My first race was the Pill Hill 10K. I struggled to make it under an hour; now running a 10K over 40 minutes is slow and frustrating. I ran all four years of high school track and cross country. My determination and dedication for running paid off in high school and earned me a scholarship for cross country at UAH. I probably never would have gone to college if it weren’t for my running career (talent). I ran 5 years for UAH and now that I am graduated, as of May 2003, my running has just begun. I teach 5th grade at Holy Spirit and find that I do not have as much time to run as I would like. I feel that a day without running is a day not accomplished.
